# No backups then?# No find . | cpio -pdv /dest?# # Are you sure?No backups of the EAs/extra forks/streams/whatever, no. Which was thepoint made several times about EAs already - the fact they could be 'lost'by unmodified utilities. (Likewise, I made the point that modifiedversions of the utilities would be likely to appear some considerable timebefore any applications started really utilising the features).

This is no different from..

C:\> echo foo > foo.txtC:\> echo bar > foo.txt:bar:

$ cd /mnt/nt4$ tar cvf foo.tar foo.txt$ cd temp$ tar xvf ../foo.tar

:

C:\> cd tempC:\temp> type foo.txtfooC:\temp> type foo.txt:bar

[ snipped - I'm not sure whether NT whinges about the file not existing,or some different kind of message, or whatever - I don't have an NT systemto hand, so I couldn't say ;) Either way, the point is the same ]
